bill sutton – i saw my world go down كلمات اغاني

i was one of a thousand souls who left a crowded earth
who came to love an orbiting sphere as if it gave me birth
for i was young when i reached l5, i had no other place
and as i grew, my life became the depths of silent sp_ce

i learned to work, and i learned to love, beneath the earth’s green light
i worked a starship’s massive frame that someday would take flight
i loved the fluid engineer who shaped the starship drive
so she shaped me, and through the years we kept the dream alive

chorus:
but i saw my world go down!
yes, i saw my world go down
i watched the dream of a lifetime die
as i saw it blazing down the sky
yes, i saw my world go down

we were close, so close to through, when the odds became too great
for the hunk of rock that hit us had to be the hand of fate
it shattered through the starship, but it left us all alive
and it knocked us from the orbit that kept us at l5

now we had mass_driver engines to keep us in our place
but the heat of the ship’s destruction boiled our engines into sp_ce
and our countrymen, so n0ble, would not build us just one more
they kept their money grounded, to fight their precious war!
(chorus)

we labored for a year or more, our backs against the wall
a hundred minds made desperate plans to save us from our fall
then came the day, at last, we knew we had nothing else to try
so as the earth ships gathered, we prepared our world to die

but they herded us like cattle, and they shoved us into line
they had to meet their countdown, so they left a few behind!
so i stood alone on terra’s soil, and i watched the missiles soar
my world was blown to atoms, with my love marooned on board

(chorus)

so now i’ve grown much older, and i’m stuck upon the earth
they say a starship costs too much and yields too little worth
so at night i dream of a free_fall sleep with my lover in my arms
but at dawn i wake to a ground_bound race who will never see the stars

(chorus)
